Bright Sands and Terrible Ambitions [Brigidnan Colonization of Khiva]

[Arkiania]

In the middle of the wave of discovery, The Arkianian Monarch knew it would not be too long before the Brigidnan powers would try to stake a claim on the various lands of Khiva. Part of this preparation was seizing an island that Arkianians had knew for centuries and has used as a supply post for trade from Arkiania and Khiva. A grand fleet was assembled to sail off to the island which the Arkiania's called Míntlant(Middle Island). Sitting in the middle of the eastern Ishnallan sea, it was an important position standing between Khiva in the south and Arkiania in the north. It would later stand as the staging point for further Arkianian expansion, possible in Khiva.
